Android N may not come with its "biggest feature" at launch![]() Google is delaying its support for the Android version of the pressure-sensitive touch feature known as 3D Touch on the iPhone. Documentation for the second preview release of Android N had raised expectations that the operating system update would add support to allow developers to take advantage of such screens. ![]() However, sources confirm that the feature will not be part of the initial Android N release and will have to wait for a later release of the operating system, most likely as part of a maintenance update to the software. A Google representative declined to comment. ![]() There are already a handful of Android phones including Meizu PRO6, Huawei's Mate S and ZTE's Axon Mini, that have the pressure-sensitive screens needed for such a feature. However, without operating-level support, phone makers have the unenviable task of getting developers to write support for each of the phones individually. ![]() Apple added 3D Touch to the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, but opted not to include it in the more budget-oriented iPhone SE that debuted earlier this year. | |

Well that's a bad news. Btw, after having a pressure sensitive display, can we measure the weight?

Another great feature of Android N is the support of new Vulkan API on top op OpenGL which allows app developers better utilization of the HW, allowing for example for better graphics in games
